1 Preventing Fires And Explosions In Pilot Plants And Laboratory Units Richard Palluzi ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Co 1545 Route 22 East Annandale, NJ October,
2 Introduction Pilot plants and laboratory units in petrochemical service pose a special risk of fire and/or explosion Routine handling of significant volumes of flammable materials Frequent elevated temperatures and pressures Novel operations October,
3 Other Challenging Factors Exploratory nature of research Limited understanding of the chemistry Small size of the equipment Frequent need for unit modifications Need to ensure safety while still allowing research to continue October,
4 October,
5 October,
6 October,
7 Comprehensive Approach Required No single activity can ensure safety Ensuring safety requires many complementary and overlapping programs This presentation will discuss some of ExxonMobil s key areas which have proved successful October,
8 Focus Design, construction and maintenance Numerous critical BBS and overall company safety programs and procedures also support and maintain a site wide safety culture October,
9 Major Areas Preconstruction safety reviews Research specific standards Leak tight design Proper construction Area electrical classification Ventilation Proper storage Proper maintenance Control of change procedure October,
10 Preconstruction Safety Reviews Key element in ensuring original design is safe Often preceded by other safety reviews for more hazardous operations conceptual safety review(s) preliminary safety review(s) October,
11 Comprehensive Review Reviews proposed design in complete detail Piping Wiring Layout Operation Identify potential hazards: Equipment Layout Vessel design Materials Control systems Leakage Operations Fire/explosion Failure modes Etc. October,
12 Assesses Proposed Design Assesses risks against a company wide matrix Recommends corrective actions where appropriate Recommends deviations and variances from approved standards/procedures where appropriate Approves proceeding to construction October,
13 Research Specific Standards Ongoing effort since 1960 s Addresses research specific needs Over 60 standards currently exist New standards developed annually Existing standards continuously updated October,
14 Research Specific Standards (cont d) Comprehensive review process across several different sites and organizations Standards include: Prescriptive designs for common recurring needs Performance requirements for varying needs Risk assessment guidelines for special cases October,
15 Area Electrical Classification Chemical Storage Cabinets Compressed Gas Cylinder Location and Installation Conduit Sealing Fittings Decommissioning Deviation Procedures Electrical Furnace Installations Electrical Heaters In Electrically Classified Areas Electrically Heated Isothermal Sandbath Design Emergency Showers and Eye Wash Fountains Flow Limiting Devices Gas Compressors Gaskets Hot Boxes for Compressed Gas Cylinders Identification Of Pilot Plant and Laboratory Piping Illumination Guidelines Inert Atmosphere Dry Box (Glove Box) Installations Insulation Leak Testing Location of Utility Branch Line Isolation Valves Materials of Construction Nonmetallic Tubing and Hoses Over Temperature Protection Piping (General, Gas, Liquid and Liquefied Gas) Piping Inspection and Hydrostatic Testing Potable/Process Water Segregation Pressure Gauge Specification and Installation Pressure Ratings of Common Fittings Pressure Regulators Pressure Relief Devices Pressure Vessels Protective Shielding Requirements Pump Systems Quick Disconnects Reach Rod Design Pressure Relief & Overpressure Protection Rotameter Pressure Protection Systems Safety Shut Down Systems Sampling Systems Sewer Systems Steam Piping Symbols For Use On P&ID s Vent Lines Wet Meter Test Installation October,
16 Standard Compliance is Mandatory Rigorous deviation procedure Engineering review Safety standards committee recommendation Site Standards Committee recommendation Management approval Deviations are routinely approved but only after careful review ensures that adequate mitigating measures are in place October,
17 Leak Tight Design Specific designs with increasing levels of containment required for: More hazardous materials Multiple user systems Higher risk designs Specific components and equipment or performance based specifications often mandated for most leak free operation October,
18 Continued Focus On Achieving Unit Integrity Pilot plant and laboratory start up and operations group to assist in initial start up as well as ongoing problems Provides additional specialty skills, training and equipment to assist operators Specific leak test procedures covered in safety standards Ensures safety and promotes efficiency October,
19 Proper Construction Significant effort in quality control including: Uniform procedures Site wide training Proper design Proper component selection Proper installation Ongoing construction supervision October,
20 Ongoing Effort Problems identified during start up are addressed through: Revised standards; Modified designs; Improved training; and/or Appropriate communications Considerable effort devoted to ensuring new tools, techniques and training are identified and deployed properly. October,
21 Area Electrical Classification Detailed site standards for area electrical classification of all research areas Pilot plant areas Engine test cells Containment cells Laboratories Hoods Detailed drawings indicating the area electrical classification of all areas are maintained and followed October,
22 Area Electrical Classification (cont d) In general, Class I Division 2 construction is mandated Safety standards provide alternate designs for some special research needs intended to ensure meeting intent while allowing more flexibility October,
23 Examples Positive pressure enclosures General purpose construction for units with minimal inventories Ventilation barriers Equipment separation Barricades Special conditions and equipment October,
24 Area Electrical Classification (cont d) Most hood interiors are electrically classified Even with high ventilation rates, releases have been found to cause fires and explosions before dilution This increases construction cost and difficulty but has proven to significantly reduce the potential for fires and explosions October,
25 Experience Has Shown Area Electrical Classification: Minimizes the risk of explosions Reduces the risk of fire usually to a minor hazard Can accommodate almost all research needs Can be done with minimal adverse operational impact with careful design October,
26 Ventilation All areas have strict ventilation standards Pilot plant and engine test cells: CFM/square foot of floor area Laboratories: Air changes/hour Hoods: Face velocity Both high and low point ventilation is required for pilot plant areas Proper ventilation patterns are also mandated October,
27 Ventilation (cont d) Smoke tests are often required After new equipment is installed In difficult to assess situations As a final check Most areas are also continuously monitored for combustible and/or toxic materials Typically inside the pilot plant area, engine test cell or laboratory Typically outside the laboratory hood October,
28 Local Exhaust Local exhaust is provided extensively Common uses include: Sampling Filling Draining and product collection Areas of high leak potential Components that need to be removed frequently Components requiring frequent maintenance October,
29 Hoods Almost all laboratory units must be placed in a hood or ventilated enclosure These meet NFPA-45, ASHRAE 110 and AIHA Laboratory Ventilation requirements Site wide safety training addresses safe use and owner responsibilities Strong maintenance program ensures safe operation October,
30 Hoods (cont d) Frequent surveys confirm proper use and operation Allows identification and early correction of problems Latest focus is addressing over crowded hoods Eliminating corresponding high turbulence and/or low draft areas October,
31 Appropriate Storage Hazardous materials must be stored properly Full compliance with NFPA-45 and local building/fire codes mandated Gas cylinders not allowed in laboratories and pilot plant areas Stored outside or in separate cylinder storage areas Solvents stored in flammable storage cabinets whenever possible October,
32 Appropriate Storage (cont d) Hoods not used for storage Quantities necessary for operations routinely challenged and reassessed October,
33 Proper Maintenance Routine maintenance of all common safety equipment and systems is an integral part of ExxonMobil procedures All safety systems must be checked on a basis determined during the design Strong work permit and lock/tag out programs October,
34 Site Wide Programs All relief devices are sized, issued from a central source and automatically checked Interval varies with service from annually to every four years Regulators issued from a central source and also automatically inspected Interval varies with service from annually to every four years All gas monitors calibrated quarterly No operator action required to initiate inspections October,
35 Control of change procedure Changes required for all modifications no matter how trivial Level of review varies with identified hazard and assessed risk Both procedural and operational controls in place to ensure all modifications are reviewed before work is started Safety system access for modification or disabling tightly controlled October,
36 Summary Preventing fire and explosions in a petrochemical research operation requires attention to numerous different areas Each area helps contribute to the overall safety of the research site The combination has helped ExxonMobil maintain a safe research environment October,
